If the CAT operates with a constant speed of 53 mph (which means it beats 53 miles in one hour) and makes a trip in about 2 and 1/2 hours, we just have to multiply 53 by 2 1/2 to find out the overall distance it's beating in that time:
53 * 2 1/2 =
= 53 * 2.5 =
= 132.5
Answer: City A is about 132.5 miles from city B.
